The actor Charlie Sheen has sued Warner Brothers for $100 million!

To be more precise, the lawsuit is also against Chuck Lorre, who is the producer of the sitcom "Two and a Half Men". Sheen also tweeted: "#Fastball; Torpedo away... You corporate Trolls were warned. And now you've been served!"

The last eight episodes of the show were cancelled in February, because of Charlie's reported drug abuse and heavy partying. What is more, his behaviour and rants against Lorre and other members of the team got him fired on Monday by Warner Bros.

But Charlie still thinks he's innocent and demands payment for the eight episodes that were cancelled as well as compensation for the crew who are unemployed at the moment. The actor's attorney, Marty Singer said: "Defendant Chuck Lorre believes himself to be so wealthy and powerful that he can unilaterally decide to take money away from the dedicated cast and crew of 'Two and a Half Men' in order to serve his own ego and self-interest, and make the star of the Series the scapegoat for Lorre's own conduct."

The lawsuit alleges the decision to cancel the last eight episodes of the show was made before Charlie had made any unpolite comments about Lorre. It also claims that Charlie was sick when he got fired, which is in violation of California State and federal law.
